What is Biblical Worship – Daniel Block

July 29, 2021 By Alf Cengia

What is Biblical Worship - Daniel Block.

I became aware of Dr. Block a few years ago when I saw his book on worship (For the Glory of God) in church. The subject of worship has been on my mind since I first started blogging some time after I became a Christian.

What is worship?

Believe it or not, I began to form some awkward thoughts about worship from my German Shepherd. You can read it HERE. And I need to point out that I’m still not a good example of it!

One of Got Questions articles on biblical worship pretty much aligns with Block’s main argument about personal holiness and worship (though he differs in approach somewhat):

In the Bible, worship describes both a way of life and a specific activity. Praising, adoring, and expressing reverence for God, both publicly and privately, are specific acts of worship. In a broader sense, worship refers to an overall lifestyle of serving and glorifying God and reflecting His glory to others.

A biblical concept of worship involves praising God and giving Him glory with our lips and our lives, with our words and our deeds, with our physical bodies and our spiritual hearts. Worship that pleases God is authentic, offered with clean hands and a pure heart (Psalm 24:3–4; Isaiah 66:2).

Psalm 24

In one of the videos linked below, Dr Block talks about Psalm 24 (one of my favorite Psalms). In fact he reads it with passion. It is well worth listening to him recite it, and how he connects worship to that Psalm.

The earth is the LORD’S, and all it contains, the world, and those who dwell in it. For He has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the rivers.

Who may ascend into the hill of the LORD? And who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood and has not sworn deceitfully. He shall receive a blessing from the LORD and righteousness from the God of his salvation. This is the generation of those who seek Him, Who seek Your face – even Jacob. Selah.

Lift up your heads, O gates, and be lifted up, O ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in! Who is the King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O gates, and lift them up, O ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in!

Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, He is the King of glory. Selah.
